Sometimes you just can't find a style that works for a particular song. There are some that are close but nothing that's perfect. What do I do now?

Well BiaB will let you create a hybrid style from different existing styles. You need to find the style that has the drum pattern you are after, then the bass lines you want etc. Make a note of these styles for later use.

Keep in mind that you shouldn't generally mix swing and straight styles neither should you mix up time sigs. BiaB will let you do this but it won't sound good. Some styles use predominantly 8th notes, others 16ths. Try to keep the styles you choose the same although it is possible to get a decent sounding arrangement by mixing these.

Now you wany to open the hybrid style Dialog. Here you need to specify a name for your new style. You only have 8 letters so you'll need to be inventive. Next you use the style picker to select which style you want each instrument to come from. Perhaps you will take the drums from ZZLITROK.STY and all others from ROKTRIO.STY. Anyway no matter where you get them when you have finished you save the new style in the BB folder. BTW you can leave instruments blank if you don't want them all.

The final step is to apply your new style to the song. Here you have to use the Open File button in the style picker and select the *.STY file manually (Unless you incorporate it into the style picker. That's another topic though).
